Abstract

Due to the advancement in the material technology to produce desired materials from various industrial applications and fast changing scenario in the production of lighter and stronger materials, composite materials are gaining wide acceptance due to their unusual characteristics of behavior with their high strength to weight ratios. The most widely used material in these industries is aluminium and their alloys because of their light weight. To make these and alloys of aluminium further versatile and flexible for varieties of application, during which these materials is expected to behave as expected and provide a long life under different environments, the composites have emerged as the single most material, which can provide a better service and better quality. Therefore in the present investigation, a study had been conducted to evaluate the thermal properties, Also to study the microstructure behaviour of A356 with Zirconium Silicate (ZrSiO4) composite castings.
